Lemon oregano potatoes - inspired by a Greek lemon potatoes, even though not authentic

...I made the lemon potatoes with black pepper, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, roasted garlic paste, vegetable bouillon, olive oil, and a little more water than I expected would be good but was actually perfect in the bottom of the pan that was being baked, and lemon juice, obviously. At the potatoes were cubed and boiled first before going into the oven : and then they were baked at 425° f for about 15 to 20 minutes to crisp them a bit. They turned out really well and hit the spot.




My goal with this and the particularly generous seasoning I added this time was to experiment to make this more like a main dish, instead of a side dish. Like a replacement for meat, so just as tasty. And obviously is a potato. It would be different, but I also wanted to give it a good texture. When I bake chicken thighs for my family, I use 425° f, so after already boiled the potato cubes so that they are cooked, to overly soft, I put it at 4:25 to try and crisp it a bit. 
Now having eaten it, I think it did meet its goal/purpose 🍋 
And good comfort food, too, it is.
